Northwest Pacific Basin Names

The Typhoon Committee, recently released a list of 140 tropical cyclone names adopted by its Members for use
in the Western North Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. The new naming system, which will lead to the
standardization of the usage of names for tropical cyclones in the region, was approved during the 31st session of
the Committee, held in the Philippines on 1-7 December 1998. This scheme is also expected to enhance alertness
of the people to impending tropical cyclone hazard. The new method of assigning Asian names to tropical
cyclones in the region will be implemented at the start of the new millenium on 1 January 2000.

Philippine Tropical Cyclone Names

REVISED LIST OF NAMES FOR TROPICAL CYCLONES WITHIN THE PHILIPPINE AREA OF
RESPONSIBILITY (Effective January 2017)

The first tropical cyclone of the year starts with the name beginning in letter A as in AURING under column 1
for 2017 and so on down the list as one disturbance succeeds another. The 5th year (2021) will bring us back to
column 1 of AURING. In the event that the number of tropical cyclones within the year exceeds 25, an
auxiliary list is used, the first ten of which are listed under each column.
